I’ll have you know I meow at the ship computer.

Yes, intelligence is intelligence. There’s nothing about the rest of the body that the brain is encased in that makes one more or less deserving of rights.

The Baldur’s Gate IP has a solid fanbase, D&D is really popular now, and also Larian knocked this one out of the park.

It’s also refreshingly consumer-friendly, like others have said.

I think for a lot of them, they must have come up with some cool looking sprites and then tried to make a game/story around that.

I’m with old Dr. McCoy from that one TNG episode on this one. Not a chance.

Lol, I suppose that’s fair.

But people play lawn mowing simulator, power washing simulator, and truck simulator mostly for the realism.

I wonder what kind of carer/child ratios they have. 1 to 10-20 seems unsafe.

I think if someone went all out with making some sort of bizarre simulator game like this, people would play it. Like, don’t even try to make it fun or add a story or anything, just make it as real as you can.

I’m just going to use accounts other than my one on lemmy.world for a bit while they sort out whatever’s going on.

Aye aye captain!

All those old websites with basic html were golden. Not always in quality, but in heart.

It’s a weird feeling not being targeted with content and ads. I forgot what it was like.

I miss not having the expectation of every social media being so heavily moderated and sterile.

The old internet was like walking down a busy city street. You might walk by someone doing something absolutely batshit crazy, but you just think “Weird. Moving on.” and go about your day because getting emotionally invested would be dumb. The new internet feels like a workplace where people want to run to HR to report anyone who acts out so that they’ll get what’s coming to them.

It’s not all bad, but I miss the sort of “wild west” feeling where nothing on the internet mattered because it wasn’t real life.

Yeah, I miss finding some very barebones website called like “Gary’s Favorite Garlic Breads”, just run by Gary, who isn’t trying to turn a profit or be an influencer. He just loves garlic bread and wanted to share.

Spreading out like the fediverse is designed is good. Redundancy and crossposted content is good.

We’re seeing the biggest instances struggle with the traffic lately, so I’m just engaging more with different communities whenever they’re not accessible.

Is this real??

I can’t imagine it’s hard to scroll past 600 posts in a day if you use twitter a lot.

The popularity of this community might finally get me into pirating, lol. I subbed out of curiosity.

I had no idea the rollout was still going. That sucks for y’all.
